Imperial Valley's HOPE for Haiti (building orphanage in Barbancourt)
Good morning! Just letting you all know that Ryan and Jeremiah arrived in Haiti yesterday morning. They went to church and got to hear Donald Curtis (Lifeline Executive Director who we are partnering with) preach with a translator at the Lifeline church, and they said it was excellent. They went to the building site and thought through a lot of things with Donald's experienced advice and developed a supply list. They also discussed IVHFH purchasing it's first vehicle. To get a reliable one, it is very expensive there, so please be in prayer that we make a wise decision in how we spend the money God has supplied us with through our wonderful supporters. Donald left this morning to go back to Kentucky and Ryan and Jeremiah are spending the day vehicle shopping, building supply shopping (so they will be ready when our team arrives tomorrow morning) and they have a meeting with a man at customs regarding releasing our last container. Earlier this week, Donald negotiated with them to get our fee reduced substantially (they charge you storage fees - crazy), so that was nice, but that's also still expensive. Please pray that the meeting goes well for Ryan and that the container is released soon for a minimal amount. At 1:30 pm, the rest of our team meets at Christ Community Church parking lot to depart together for an overnight flight. All except for 2 people who are flying from Central California, the Rinkenburgers. Gary used to by Ryan's corporate boss and we are so excited to have him and his wife along on this trip. Below is the list of the team - 14 people. We all appreciate your prayers for a fruitful and safe trip and for the anointing of the Holy Spirit as we do the Lord's work in Haiti. Thank you!
Blessings,
Nikki
